Echoes in The Concrete Special Lyrics

A voice gets lost in the night if the walls don't listen

A dream falls silent if the streets won't glisten

So I carved my name where the echoes remain

Where the city breathes where the past leaves stains

I heard my future in the echo of a subway train

(Future in the echo) like a past unchained

Footsteps heavy yet the world won't pause

I got calloused ambition but I sharpened my cause

Whispers in the alley said "Boy stay low"

(Whispers in the alley) but my hunger said "Go"

Doubted my name thought I'd never take flight

Now my voice ricochets off the buildings at night

(Echo echo—still standing in the glow)

Took the pain made it gold now my name's what they know

(Echo echo—built my kingdom from the low)

Every verse every step let the rhythm unfold

(Echo echo—faded voices from before)

But the sound don't die it just waits at the door

(Echo echo—watch the skyline ignite)

Now my words paint the sky in the neon of night

Some learn the rules some rewrite the script

(Script torn pages) now I speak what I lived

From the curb to the curbside notebooks filled

Every verse like a brick—watch a kingdom get built

Car alarms hum in a minor key

(Minor key minor key) now the bass runs deep

Streetlights flicker like a heartbeat lost

But I dance in the storm—never scared of the cost

They said time moves fast but echoes stay longer

Said my dreams were frail but hunger beats stronger

They said history fades but soundwaves don't die

If I spit it with power it gets caught in the sky

(Echo echo—still standing in the glow)

Took the pain made it gold now my name's what they know

(Echo echo—built my kingdom from the low)

Every verse every step let the rhythm unfold

(Echo echo—faded voices from before)

But the sound don't die it just waits at the door

(Echo echo—watch the skyline ignite)

Now my words paint the sky in the neon of night

The walls still murmur the names they forgot

(Names they forgot) but I etched in my spot

Where they used to say "hush" now the city replies

In the echoes in the echoes—I will never subside
